Middle name for Florence?

[name]Hi[/name] everyone,

I need help deciding on a middle name for [name]Florence[/name]. [name]June[/name], [name]Marlene[/name], [name]Anne[/name], [name]Gloria[/name], [name]Jacqueline[/name], [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] are family names but we aren’t set on using any of them. I would really appreciate it if you could comment on each name on the list individually, specifically whether the name flows well and if you like the name or not and why?

Here’s is the list:
[name]Florence[/name] [name]June[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Anne[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Sophie[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]May[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Eve[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Paige[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Maria[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marianne[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marielle[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Ariana[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Julia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Lilia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Rosa[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marlena[/name] Churchyard (pn mar-lay-na)

Thanks, [name]Eli[/name] x

[name]Florence[/name] [name]June[/name] Churchyard: Nice, but I think [name]Florence[/name] and [name]June[/name] together is a bit too musty.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Anne[/name] Churchyard: [name]Anne[/name] is overused as a middle name (underused as a first) and it sounds like ‘floren sann’.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] Churchyard: [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Gloria[/name] practically rhyme-- I don’t really like this one.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] Churchyard: [name]Daisy[/name] is very sweet, and it freshens up [name]Florence[/name] very well.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Sophie[/name] Churchyard: I don’t like the back-to-back S sounds…

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] Churchyard: I love this one!

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] Churchyard: I love this one, too.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]May[/name] Churchyard: Very sweet combo.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Eve[/name] Churchyard: Also nice.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Adeline[/name] Churchyard: Not my favorite, but okay… are you pronouncing it ad-e-leen or ad-e-line?

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Paige[/name] Churchyard: I don’t like this one at all-- [name]Paige[/name] seems to me very harsh and surname-y.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Maria[/name] Churchyard: I actually really like this one!

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marianne[/name] Churchyard: This too!

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marielle[/name] Churchyard: I like the previous two better, but this is okay.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Ariana[/name] Churchyard: Nice, but [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Ariana[/name] don’t seem to go with each other very well. It’s probably just me…

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name] Churchyard: I love it!! It might be my favorite…

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Julia[/name] Churchyard: I love [name]Julia[/name], too.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] Churchyard: A little dull, but not bad.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Lilia[/name] Churchyard: Very pretty.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Rosa[/name] Churchyard: My name! :slight_smile: I like this one, but it’s not my absolute favorite.

[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marlena[/name] Churchyard (pn mar-lay-na): Pretty.

My favorites are [name]Florence[/name] [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Florence[/name] [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Florence[/name] [name]Marianne[/name], [name]Florence[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name], and [name]Florence[/name] [name]Julia[/name], but I actually really like all of them (except for [name]Paige[/name]).

OK thanks! Here’s a revised list:

[name]Florence[/name] [name]June[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Gloria[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Daisy[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]May[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Eve[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marianne[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marielle[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Dahlia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Julia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Lilia[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Rosa[/name] Churchyard
[name]Florence[/name] [name]Marlena[/name] Churchyard (pn mar-lay-na)

Thanks for your help!

Would really appreciate some help here please! [name]Eli[/name] x

I just love [name]Florence[/name] [name]Julia[/name] Churchyard. [name]Florence[/name] and [name]Julia[/name] are such an unexpected combo, but it works so well!

One other thing: I also really like the sound/flow of [name]Florence[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] Churchyard, but I really don’t think [name]Ivy[/name] works next to your last name - way too wordy and it makes me think quite literally of ivy growing along the exterior of a church.
